Riga 88:
Se si vuole una pagina seria e non una buffonata, questa deve basarsi su materiale serio come quello riportato in nota ed orientarsi alla serietà delle pagine inglese, tedesca e francese.
== JHWH non è alla pari di Kemosh ==
Ho tolto il passaggio relativo all'errata idea che la Bibbia presenti JHWH alla pari di Kemosh.
è una speculazione senza senso perché nella Bibbia viene sempre fatto riferimento alla superiorità di JHWH.
inoltre è -ovviamente- del tutto priva di qualsiasi supporto nella discussione accademica. Nella nota riportata veniva citato "L. Feldman, Studies in Josephus' Rewritten Bible, p. 188".
ora, l'autore non asserisce affatto che vi sia una qualche "parità" tra le divinità, ma solo una possibile spiegazione di come il passaggio era stato interpretato da Giuseppe Flavio nelle sue Antichità.
riporto il passaggio per esteso con le note-:
On the other hand, Josephus was obviously embarrassed by
Jephthah's seeming admission that the Ammonites possessed what
they had as a gift from their god Chemosh (Judges 11:24), since
this would seem to ascribe to Chemosh power to bestow land upon
his worshippers.(20) Pseudo-Philo, apparently realizing that the Ammonites
were polytheists, speaks of the gods who have given them
their inheritance (Bib. Ant. 39.9). Josephus resolves the problem
by omitting all reference to Chemosh or to the gods of the Ammonites.
(21)
(20) McKenzie (1966) remarks that this statement illustrates the extremely
primitive belief of early Israel. We may assume that Josephus recognized and was
embarrassed by it and that he resolved the dilemma by omitting the reference to
Chemosh altogether. The traditional Jewish commentators, we may note, such as
Radak and Ralbag, resolve this problem by asserting that in stating "Is it not that
which Chemosh your god gives you to possess," Jephthah was speaking sarcastically.
(21) Another instance where Josephus avoids a problem in the biblical text is in
connection with the contradiction between Judges 11:2, which declares that
Jephthah was driven out by the sons of Gilead's wife, and Judges 11:7, where
Jephthah turns bitterly to the elders of Gilead and asks why they had excluded
him from his father's house. Here Josephus (Ant. 5.258) resolves the contradiction
by having Josephus reproach the elders for not having aided him when he
was wronged by his brethren.
